GHOSTPHRASE AND COLD BOOT KEY THEFT.
GHOSTPHRASE is in some respects less vulnerable
to the cold boot technique described above. The
huge key size employed in GHOSTPHRASE means that
tiny errors in image recovery has a larger impact.
On the other hand, if clear text is imaged, this
could be recovered. Specific countermeasures 
include sending/receiving messages with one machine, 
and encrypting/decrypting with another, locked-away 
machine that is shut down between runs.  
Alternatively, run GHOSTPHRASE from a USB key, and
shut down the laptop right after encryption or decryption.
Leave it off for at least five minutes while you guard it.

 
All the best,

Tord Hjalt, CEO
